UNT Defensive Stats week 1: Laramie Lee w/11!~

[Harry]

Very impressive Mr. Lee with 11 tackles against LSU. http://www.meangreensports.com/ViewContent.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=1800&CONTENT_ID=225977

For a first year starter like Lee to out tackle Zachary Orr against an opponent like LSU was impressive to me. I look for big performances and let downs in these body bag games...they are a good indicator of character. I thought Lee stepped it up last night. Also saw some good plays from Chad Polk and HJ.

Chad Polk caught my eye too.

I think it is a good sign they didn't or couldn't pick on Whitfield.

We could be very good at corner next year with Whitfield and Warner.

This is what I expected to read & see people talking about the development of a strong defense like we saw in the early 2000's. Dan lives & believes in a strong defense. Buy the way, I thought our defensive line, all be it undersized & slower compared to theirs, played as good as can be expected ( Thanks Nelly). Our defensive backs made less errors as the game went on- great ( fast learners & good speed). Thet really learned fast against a quality team. The coverage was better than we have seen in several years w/o any experience in the defensive bf. Buy the way, after the our defense figures out our defensive coordinator's game plan the score was 17 to our 14 and was as a good even game.

What makes me wonder is the offense. Talking to Chico in March I asked him if he copied the Tides game with lsu. He said he did. We talked about the passes to the tight ends & delayed passes out of the backfield to work against their speed rushing. Two complete passes to the tight ends (yes Powers dropped a wide open pass). While I understand the first half, 2 yds/run, I was wondering if anyone saw much change in our rushing/passing game the second half. We were pretty much waited until third down to throw when you have a long yardage need. I wondered if we would of used more delayed passes to the backs/TE's maybe we might of made it a better score & kept their offense off the field.

The best thing I saw was that we were better conditioned than lsu & it really showed.

Totally agree. LSU was sucking some hard wind during that 4th quarter. Our S & C coach is one of best in the country

Run the clock down and get out quicker.

Totally agree with the conditioning comment, pointed that out to my wife.

My wife is usually the one pointing out my "conditioning "

Having a safety with that many tackles is not usually a good thing...

I understand what you are saying - I had posted essentially the same thing on another thread.

HOWEVER, having watched missed tackles after missed tackles over the past six + years I have to say it was quite a joy to watch tackles actually being completed by Lairamie.
